Journalist fighting subpoena to speak at The Media School in January

Freelance journalist Jamie Kalven, who is fighting a subpoena to name sources for his story about the police-involved shooting death of Chicago teenager Laquan McDonald, will speak at The Media School on Jan. 23.

Kalven won the George Polk Award for Local Reporting for his Slate.com piece, “Sixteen Shots,” which challenged the official police version of the shooting. Attorneys for the officer involved say they need information on Kalven’s sources, which Kalven has said he won’t reveal.
